MINOR MENTION.
THE wife of Captain Black, attorney for the
Anarchists denies the story that she said that
the wives of the condemned men would kill
their children and then commit suicide if their
husbands were executed; but she still justifes
the charge that she is ''a fool woman" by talking
such twaddle az this:
Wasn't it awful about poor Neebe2 There is
not lawyer in this country, except Mr.. Grin
neil. who would be cruel as to take "a man
away to the panitentiary and put him in felons
stripes without giving him moment TO kiss his
motherless little children good-oy. IL was
shamefuly cruel 1t made my blood boil when
/ read the account OF It Then. too 1t was I'M
jnst take him 70 Joliet, just f6r Spite without
giving his lawyers notice. when Mr.. Grinneil
knew that Captain Black was gong to appeal
the case. That kind of treatment Will not DO
Mr.. Grnnell nor anyone else any good; aud, It
they hang these men, do they think they VIII
kill them for all timel ID. <. Hill said TO me
that they should be hanged because they we're
the brains of the movement. Do they think
they can hang brains or kill an ideaY Why, 1t
they hang these men the worklngmen OF this
country will take their little children on Sun-
days and show them the graves of the Anarch-
lists and tell them those men died for u.s.. and
they will strew the graves with flowers
AMONG the thousands of people who gratfed
their curiosity yesterday by looking at Mrs.
Cleveland not one knew how near she to
being left behind. a Washington special says:
1.-THE President wrapped in thought
the immensely of his venture into the
great unknown that when he reached the depot
to take the train he actually forgot his wife.
When his carriage stopped at the ladies'
entrance, ne climbed out. started across the
pavement and went through the reception
behind. Mrs. Cleveland. however, helped
herself ont Of the carriage and
walked after him. She saved
from having TO crowd her own way along by
Carson. Washington
spondent of the Philadelphia Ledger. who
CHANGED to be by and to see the EN- barrassing
situation. Major Carson had escorted the Presl-
dent and his wife to Philadelphia on behalf OF
the Centennial committee. He promptly
stepped out OF the crowd and offered his arm to
Mrs. Cleveland. She took it and together they
soon reached the train without further mlshap.
There she caught up with her husband and fol-
lowed him into the car.

soul of the Sentinel must have been narrowed at
the sight OF Cleveland "non-partisan" banner
stretched from the English Hotel to church.
According to the Sentinel, the church and its
representatives have nothing in common with
the Democratic party.
THE shifting Of the transfer car, yesterday,
deprived Sim Coy of the post of observation
signed TO him by non-partisan admirers. We
trust that this removal does not indicate sew
ersnce OF the tender relations heretofore exist
ing between Simeon and Colonel Johnson.
THE face of the Washing ton-street landscape
was almost unacceptable. yesterday. owing to
the temporary removal OF the transfer car.
Rural visitors who saw this remarkable edifice
in transit believed it to be fac smile of Noah's
ark on the way to the Dime Museum.
TEARS for the living and cheers for the
dead" were the words of Robert Ingersoll on
memorable occasion. There were no tears shed
for the living yesterday, but the loudest cheers
of the day were brought forth by the mention of
Thomas A. Hendricks name.
THE mottled- gray hats of the Hendricks Club
had the appearance of being made out of galvan-
lied iron. They were probably constructed
from some more pliable material, however. gall
vanized iron hats being hardly elastic enough
for so convivial occasion.
THE Hendricks Club and the Duckworths
should have provided themselves with double
supply OF sandwiches yesterday. There was a
season for refreshment not down on the bills
GREAT many people regarded the Presi
dents carriage with anxious. hungry look, as
if they thought he would scatter official COM
missions among the crowd
1T was very quiet after o'clock P. ~ yester-
day. Indianapolis can fill up with a crowd and
get rid of one in less time than any other city
We know Of
THE cheers were few and far between; but
this circumstance is easily accounted for. 1t
was q non partisan demonstration.
THE President ought to have brought his
weather alo1e with him. IL delightful
when he left Washington.
Presidents eye, not one held it long enough to
wink at him.
good at cheering
IT was not cheering weather yesterday.
